Its been a while, I know, but I finally have another list complied. This has been a tough one to put together, since the show spans some 30 odd years. As a result, a lot of favourites have been left off the list. This is definitely one of those lists which could easily be expanded. […]

The Ten Best Saturday Night Live Skits
May 22, 2012My Top Ten Movies of the 60s
April 15, 201210. The Birds (1963) The Birds is a movie I honestly didn’t think I would end up liking, thinking its just a silly horror flick. But it has all of the great Hitchcockisms which make his works so great; fantastic dialogue with lots of wit, and a visual panache for storytelling. Not to mention […]

March 9, 20122011 was a big year in blu-ray releases: the Star Wars trilogy, the Jurassic Park trilogy, the LOTR extended editions, and many more great releases came to us last year. 2012 also looks to be a great year for blu. So I decided to make a list of the ten movies I most want to […]
My Top Ten Films of 2011
February 6, 201210. Contagion As a former microbiologist, I appreciated this movie a lot. It provided a very realistic idea of how something like this might go down. And hey, its pretty much the film version of one of my favourite board games: Pandemic! 9. Moneyball The game about baseball statistics proved to be much more interesting […]

January 22, 2012Hey hey everyone! Well, I’ve reached a blogging milestone: post 300! Though to be honest, I only realized that because of that sidebar wordpress has been putting up after each new post now.

The Ten Best Movie Taglines
December 3, 201110. “Crime is a Disease. Meet the cure.” Cobra This is the representative entry for all of those cheesy yet great macho action movie taglines. The Cobra poster hangs on a vast amount of college dorm walls, probably second only to the poster for Scarface, the most overrated movie in film history. And probably the […]
The Ten Most Important Canadians
October 16, 2011Okay, time to get a little patriotic with my next list. Its worth noting that the importance of the people on this is are for Canadian people first and foremost, but world influence also has some weight. 10.

My Ten Favourite Small World Races
September 10, 201110. Cultists Rounding out my list at #10 is the cultists. I didn’t think I would like the cultists. Perhaps because of the darker theme they invoke, I’m not sure. But they are really quite cool and quite powerful. The Cultists can actually summon Cthulhu( though they don’t actually call him Cthulhu in the game), […]
The Ten Best Movie Sequels
August 19, 201110. Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan (1982) Star Trek is one of the most legendary television shows of all time, so there were a lot of expectations when the franchise decided to take its adventures to the big screen. Unfortunately, Star Trek: The Motion Picture was a huge disappointment and did not have […]

Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446) Art As one of the founding fathers of the Italian Renaissance, Brunelleschi made a modern contribution for all painters that would follow him; the development of linear perspective. Giving Depth through linear perspective is now one of the fundamental bases of art today. Brunelleschi was also a innovative mastermind of architecture […]
The Ten Most Memorable Uses of Songs at the Movies
June 26, 2011Here’s a little clarification as to what this list is about. The songs chosen re songs which must have existed before production of the movies they were used in. This is a list of the best uses of already existing songs, not original songs written for the movie or soundtrack. 10. Twist and Shout Ferris […]
The Ten Greatest Feats of Architecture
June 8, 201110. The Eiffel Tower Paris, France Gustave Eiffel originally designed this amazing monument, which has become France’s foremost cultural icon, for the World Fair in 1889.

The Ten Most Important Websites
March 19, 2011I realize this is going to be a tough list to make, not being a techie myself. And I also realize that the nature of the internet is constantly changing, which means this list will probably be obsolete in, oh, about three minutes. But here it is regardless. 10. Drudge Report Journalism began to change, […]
The Ten Greatest Movie Endings
December 19, 2010Once again, I am issuing a blanket spoiler warning for my whole next list. None of the entries are too recent, but consider yourself forewarned nonetheless. 10. The Silence of the Lambs (1991) The ending of The Silence of the Lambs provides both closure and open-endedness at the same time. It wraps up the relationship […]
